Android enterprise integration

Android Enterprise(AE)is a Google-led initiative to enable the use of Android devices and apps in enterprises. It provides a secure and flexible enterprise mobility management (EMM) framework to enable true workforce productivity in an increasingly mobile workforce.

Where rugged MDM matters most

Rugged device MDM FAQs

What's the difference between rugged and consumer-grade Android management?
Both use the Android Enterprise framework, but rugged devices add manufacturer-specific controls (scanner profiles, programmable buttons, glove mode, ruggedized firmware update channels). Codeproof exposes these via OEMConfig alongside standard Android policy.
Can I mix rugged OEMs in the same MDM tenant?
Yes. A single Codeproof tenant manages Zebra, Honeywell, Samsung, Sonim, Kyocera, Datalogic, and Spectralink devices alongside each other. Apply common policies once, then layer OEM-specific OEMConfig where needed.
How does zero-touch work for rugged devices?
Most rugged OEMs participate in Android Zero-Touch. Samsung adds KME (Knox Mobile Enrollment). Buy devices through a participating reseller / carrier, assign them to your Codeproof profile in the OEM portal, and they auto-enroll on first boot.
What's lock task mode?
Lock task mode is the Android Enterprise feature that pins a device to one or more allowed apps - no home screen, no settings, no other apps. The bread-and-butter for COSU (Corporate-Owned Single-Use) rugged devices in warehouse, retail, and field use.
Does Codeproof support older Android versions on rugged devices?
Yes. Rugged devices often run older Android versions for longer than consumer devices. Codeproof supports Android 7+ for most policies, with newer features (Play Integrity, work-profile-on-personally-owned) requiring Android 8 or 11+.
